Overview of Performance
For the cumulative third quarter period of the 2026 fiscal year, revenue increased to JPY 123.568 billion compared to the same period last year. This growth was driven by an increase in the number of holidays, higher foot traffic at commercial facility stores, strong performance in bakery and noodle brands, and consolidated contributions from last year’s M&A activities. On the other hand, operating income decreased to JPY 6.609 billion YoY, mainly due to profit declines in the SFP category centered on izakaya-style restaurants, which pulled down overall profitability. Net income attributable to owners of parent also declined to JPY 4.311 billion YoY. Adjusted EBITDA increased to JPY 20.226 billion.
Performance by Segment
The CR category, specialist brand category, and overseas category all posted increases in both revenue and profit, while the SFP category experienced a significant profit decline despite revenue growth from new store openings, due to declining customer numbers and lack of improvement in cost ratios. The overseas category faced challenges from inflation fatigue in North America and struggles at high-priced stores; however, the M&A acquisition Wildflower performed strongly, maintaining revenue and profit growth. Same-store sales on a year-on-year basis stood at 102.1% overall.
Medium-Term Business Plan and Growth Strategy
The five-year period from the 2026 fiscal year to the 2030 fiscal year is positioned as a “Five Years for Solving Fundamental Issues.” The targets are revenue of JPY 230 billion (147% of 2025) and core operating income of JPY 18 billion (167% of 2025). The three pillars of growth are evolving intrinsic value (through the development of new formats and format changes), synergistic M&A, and expansion of overseas business, with foundations based on technology utilization, human capital management, and promotion of sustainability.
Shareholder Returns
For the 2026 fiscal year, the dividend forecast is unchanged at an annual dividend of JPY 9.00, composed of an interim dividend of JPY 4.50 (already paid) and a year-end dividend of JPY 2.25 (post stock split). The shareholder benefits program was expanded as of the end of February 2026, with an increase in meal voucher amounts and an expansion in the number of eligible stores.
